Throwing caution to the wind, thousands gathered in Hyderabad, without masks and social distancing, to celebrate the Bonalu festival. A large crowd including police personnel and politicians flouted Covid rules to participate in the festival. This comes even as Telangana Chief Minister K Chandrashekar Rao held a cabinet meeting and discussed the Covid-19 situation in the state on Sunday. It was decided to intensify Covid testing in as many districts of the state in the wake of a surge in Covid-19 cases.
